Girlfriend Was Raped – Answer (27 MAY @ 03:30pm)

People respond to rape in different ways and just because someone is acting as if nothing happened does not mean nothing happened. Most people will not say they have been raped if they have not. It takes enormous courage to say you have been raped.

My suggestion to you would be for you and your girlfriend to come to Rape Crisis Helderberg for counselling during the school holidays coming up. The counselling is free and even if your girlfriend is not willing to come – you are still welcome to come.

No Means No!

Saying "NO" to sex truly does mean saying "NO" to sex. Rape is a violent, traumatic & life changing experience that can happen to ANYONE in almost any situation.

It’s Not About Sex

Rape is an act ofPOWERand CONTROLand sex is used as the weapon to achieve this.

Rape isNEVERthe survivors fault - rapists make the choice to rape and they are to blame. Silence does NOT mean consent. RAPE IS NOT ABOUT SEX...Rape is a CRIMEof violence that is committed through a sexual act. Reporting rape takes enormous courage - survivors do not take such steps lightly.
